I didn’t need to be talked into it… but I did need to make some more meatballs! For more info on the full story, click here: Baked Meatballs.

Tonight we enjoyed spaghetti and meatballs…

And when I do spaghetti sauce I usually start it off with some sauteed veggies (crimini mushrooms, onion and garlic)… and then pour in a high quality tomato sauce! (I don’t make EVERYTHING from scratch … not yet!) The sauce usually sits on the stove top for about 30 minutes while I’m doing other things.

Once the meatballs have finished baking then I drop them in the sauce… and let them simmer a bit longer.

Tonight my hero-of-a-hubby paused the television (gasp)… and said “Honey, thank you for making a great dinner tonight. Thank you!” Then he hit the “play” button again …

And that’s all there is to tonight’s story…

enjoy your time in the kitchen…
